Median Vs. Average: Whats the difference?
Understanding the Lingo before house shopping

Median
- Price where half the homes sold in any given area that month were cheaper and the other half more expensive
- Regarded as most useful when looking at prices.

Average
- Total number of prices divided by the number of houses
- The average price of these 11 houses was $498,000

Real estate sources online and real estate agents often mention "average prices" and "median prices" when they compare prices in various area, and those terms often cause confusion

Wildcards
Covid plays major influence on monetary policy and supply chains
- Major surprise in Covid could change outlook dramatically

Additional stimulus may fan flames of inflation
- would push stock price temporarily higher
- cause mortgage rates to rise further
- make fed's job of corralling inflation more difficult

Runoff of Fed's balance sheet
- first step - fed to stop purchasing new mortgage bonds and treasury
- Next Step - Hiking fed funds rate
- Fed still buying $70B/ month in mortgage bonds through reinvestments
- If/When fed stops reinvestments, mortgage rates could move higher.

Interest rates forecast
We anticipate mortgage rates to rise along with inflation during first part of they year towards 3.75%

With fed action, softer stock market, and slowing economic conditions, interest rates should head lower in second part of year towards 3%

Forecast - Rates rise towards 3.75% first half of year, decline towards 3% second half as Fed hikes rates.

Strategically, this sets up for a bias of less upfront fees because of a refinance opportunity ahead.
